Crossbows Loads

by ShadowSilver-

Crossbows Loads lets a crossbow carry items other than firework rockets, such as ender pearls, wind charges, fire charges and eggs, once the player loads it from the offhand.

What it does

Players hold a crossbow in the main hand and an accepted projectile in the offhand, then right-click to start loading. Ender pearls, wind charges, breeze wind charges loaded with a breeze rod, fire charges and three kinds of egg can be loaded this way. The loading works the same way as loading a firework rocket into a crossbow, so the crossbow fires the item when the charge completes.

The mod needs Silver's Inventory Library (IL) on every loader. Silver's Project Info (PI) is optional and can be added alongside it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for game versions 1.21.2 – 26.2 across 14 release versions, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. The author maintains a public issue tracker.

Key features

  1. Ender pearls as ammunition

    Ender pearls can be loaded into a crossbow and fired like any other projectile, sending the player to the landing point.

  2. Wind and fire charges

    Wind charges, breeze wind charges and fire charges can be loaded, so a crossbow can carry area effects.

  3. Egg variants

    Normal, brown and blue eggs are accepted as loads, giving a crossbow three additional egg projectiles.

  4. Offhand loading

    The item sits in the offhand while the crossbow is in the main hand, and a right-click starts the load.

The way this pack works is like how you would normally load a firework rocket in to a crossbow. Simply put the crossbow in your mainhand and the projectile in your offhand and right click to start loading the crossbow
